OK, I'll take a crack at it:


Definition for FACULTY:

 "TBL is not just any old form of group work.  It is a special form of collaborative learning using a specific sequence of individual work, group work and immediate feedback to create a motivational framework in which students increasingly hold each other accountable for coming to class prepared and contributing to discussion."

Definition for STUDENTS:

"TBL is not just any old form of group work.  It is a special form of collaborative learning using a specific sequence of individual work, group work and immediate feedback to create a team experience in which effort is rewarded fairly and where students feel known, needed and appreciated."

Hi
 
I am looking for a succinct definition of TBL that can be used for marketing a TBL course.
 
Thanks,
Loretta
